Hard Wind Razes
Hardman Landmark
By ELSA M. LEATHERS
The hard wind that rocked ev
erything but the hills here this
week took a landmark that was
very dear to our hearts the lone
pine, directly south of Hardman on
the Katherine Mclntyre ranch.
When Emil Johnson owned the place
the tree was struck by lightning, 17
years ago, but it lived on and wea
thered many storms. It must have
thought that terrible wind was caus
ed by the Japs who were so close
to our beloved shores, and gave up
in despair. If it could have only
known that those tricky Japs are
just small wind to us, and "we stand
united"!
Mrs. Roy Robinson, Elsa M. Lea
thers and Floyd Adams joined the
Red Cross this week, bringing the
lotal for Hardman community to $43.
There was a dinner given Tues
day night by the community for
Echo (Buck) Neill, Donald Robin
son, Delbert Robison and Loren
Haynes. Both Neill and Donald
Robinson enlisted, Neill with the
navy for six years, leaving Decem
ber 26th. Delbert Robison and Lo
ren Haynes go in January. A very
large crowd came and after the din
ner they danced in the I. O. O. F.
hall. These young men make ten
from our community in a year.
Miss Lucille Reed returned this
week from Eugene where she is a
student. She will spend the holi
days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Reed and sister Jean.
Jim Stevens, who is on a fur
lough from Fort Knox, Ky., is vis
iting relatives and friends this week.
He has been in the army since
spring. He is a mechanic and will
be stationed at Fort Knox when he
reports for duty December 31. Miss
THROUGH this message we want to
reach the many, friends, old and new,
who have so generously patronized us
during the year. We sincerely hope
we shall have many more opportuni
ties to be of service to you. To all in
Morrow County we extend our wish
for a Very Merry Christmas season.

MM.
Farmers Urged to Turn
Wheat Into Pork
Oregon wheat farmers, particular
ly in the Columbia basin and Blue
mountain counties, have an excel
lent opportunity to increase the pro
duction of hogs during the war per
iod through greater use of wheat as
feed, according to O. S. C. livestock
specialists, who are authors of a
new extension bulletin No. 582, which
deals with this subject exclusively.
The eight-page leaflet discusses the
demand for pork in the western
states, the high value of wheat as a
hog feed, methods of feeding, the
use of pasture in connection with it,
and other factors in the' successful
management of hogs.
Investigators in Oregon have long
considered wheat a valuable feed
for swine and many years ago stress
ed its value in comparison with
barley and corn. Recent feeding ex
periments have emphasized this
value while the national defense pro
gram has created an opportunity in
Oregon to market more of the re
gion's surplus wheat through this
channel, the bulletin points out.
